You can bet the guide won't use a red dot, he won't take any chances and the bear won't eat him when he finds out how full of [bleep] he is!!!????

Gonna try & put an end to this nonsense thread now. If I'm not mistaken (could be), this scope that nimrod wants to use, shoots out a beam of light resulting in a red dot. If so, I do believe that it's illegal to use anyway. I'd have to check the regs but it seems to me I read that a scope with illuminated crosshairs was legal but a scope transmitting a beam of light was illegal. I could be wrong on theuse of such stuff tho.
I know nothing about this scope he's talking about since I don't like nor use any "wannabe" gear.

Bear,
sights of the type "nimrod" is talking about do not project a beam onto the target, but inside the unit body onto a glass surface (either direted at the shooter - Eotech and others or directed away from the shooter - Aimpoints).
The dot then floats in your field of view (both eyes open and focused on target). Makes for a quick aiming system - when working.

Some of these guides in Canada charge $10,000 for a moose hunt or caribou or bear. Thats just ridiculous!! How high do you think their operating costs are??? Some gas for the quad, a few boxes of rifle bullets and paying for their lease or paying off any loans for their property... these guys have deep pockets don't fool yourself. Dang, Anybody know where I can find a moose, caribou, or bear lease? Seriously Polska, you're so far out of your element it is really embarrassing to watch. IF you think guiding is just some dude with a 4-wheeler pointing out animals, I think you're beyond help. no, it is hard, but it's not rocket science, and many natives who have no money for college or a real job become hunting guides cause people travel from all over the world to hunt species like moose, or bear, or caribou and these guides know it and they make A LOT of money. I'm not trying to minimize hunting guides, there are a lot of hunting guides that do the right thing, but there are a lot of others consumed by greed, just like anything else in the world money makes the world turn and even in remote places the same istrue You might contact a fellow Pole: http://nortonsoundguideservice.net/nsgs/?page_id=2&lang=enand ask him about a job so you can get in on the "bounty" of the "gouging". Then again, you might learn something from someone who is without question a whole lot smarter than you are making yourself out to be. And you won't find nicer or more helpful people to be around.

Headspace, I been living and hunting in Kansas for 35 years. As
hard as I've tried, I haven't been able to find a Bear. Do you think you could be my Guide next Bear Season ? What's our chances ?

Bear,
all the technical stuff aside, your feeling about these units for use in AK is correct.
Great idea in itself - no cut in the field. What fails under German hunting conditions, sure as heck does not get considered for AK.
I'd rather you continued to contribute. Others much more in need of a dose of STFU.

B.I.F. Just wanted to clarify, I take it you were not using nimrod in its formal meaning: Nimrod ((Old Testament) a famous hunter), also known as a person who is dedicated to or skilled in hunting. I'm sure you were only using nimrod as slang in the informal sense: Informal: A person regarded as silly, foolish, or stupid. In its true meaning, some of the greatest hunters we've ever known are/were big time nimrods  Best:)

Rabbitdog / Shriner Rabbitdog, I'm keeping my limited bear properties set aside for the Polock, soon as he sends the money. I'm beginnning to think he can't raise 75 bucks. After all, that's almost 50% of the amount Poland spent on it's defense department in 1938. I'll put you down for next season tho. I quarantee the biggest chance in the industry.

Just how tough are you?
Scent Blocker clothing was invented in Poland to try to increase the birth rate there.When it didn't work there the patent holder sold the idea to some sharp operater in Alabama for 15 bucks. That guy made a fortune marketing to the only group of people slower than Poles. Bowhunters from the South.

one of those eotech xps transverse models would be nice on my future ruger alaskan in 416 ruger. Nice and small, runs on 1 cr 123 battery, rugged. good reticle - 65 moa circle with 1 moa dot. nice for up close or far.

Have a friend with a .375 RUM w/ an EOTech on it. After several years of using it to kill brown bears, in hindsight, he wishes he would have gone w/ a .375 HH and a low powered scope. In particular, the EOTech offers nothing better over a good scope for close work, and it is much worse for anything past 100 yds.

I'm sure band camp and Alaska are equally as tough on [bleep]. Good luck with that. You can blow me at the next band camp Steely.  Christ Polska, you sure dug yourself into a deep dark hole over the last ten days...I actually like Canada and the opinionated bastids here at the fire... If you gotta have a red dot, why not get off your wallet and buy a Schmidt short dot?
